MGA Games launches three games simultaneously and premieres Portuguese Celebrities and the Colombia Collection
The renowned iGaming content provider, MGA Games, continues its launch plan this May with the release of three new slot games in the Spanish Celebrities, Portuguese Celebrities and Colombia Collection series.
In Spain, casino operators now have Risitas en Gánsters, the new Spanish Celebrities slot game starring the comedian Juan Joya Borja, better known as Risitas, and known for his appearances on Jesús Quintero’s television programme. The famous comedian, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago, was also well known internationally thanks to his many YouTube videos and even starred in advertisements in Finland and China. MGA Games now brings this most famous laugh on the internet to the world of slot games. Risitas en Gánsters is an immersive adventure in which the comedian is a mafia boss whose center of operations is his hotel. Players can win “cuñaos” symbols giving them access to the six fun mini-games while touring the Hotel Risitas and passing through the casino to its most exclusive rooms.
The Portuguese Celebrities series and the Fanny Rodrigues Golden Throne slot game, starring the queen of reality shows, are making their premiere in the Portuguese market. As MGA Games revealed a few months ago, the company has been working on exporting its successful celebrities formula to the rest of the world, slot games featuring emblematic characters from society, culture, or sport, adapted for each market. This formula is obtaining great success and benefits for operators and is generating great expectations.
Finally, for the Colombian market comes the first and long-awaited delivery of the new Colombia Collection series with the adaptation of the Golden Throne slot game for the local market with original phrases and audio suitable for the Colombian public. This game is an incredible adventure in which the future of the entire kingdom is at stake. Players are invited to join the mighty warrior on her crusade through seas and mountains to conquer the throne in her 4 mini-games.
All MGA Games’ slot games ensure that players form part of the story and guarantee a fully immersive gaming experience thanks to the quality of their development, their Triple View design, and the use of ergonomic and adaptive buttons.
